Migration of Content Databases from SP 2010 "Domain A" to SP 2013 "Domain B"

Question

Hi there,
I am in the process of planning the migration of my SP Foundation 2010 farm to SP Server 2013.  I have tested this previously with the following steps and was successful:-
Backup DB on SP2010 SQL
Restore DB on SP 2013 SQL
Run  Test-SPContentDatabase –Name WSS_Content_*** –WebApplication
https://intranet.***.com.au
Mount the DB - Mount-SPContentDatabase –Name WSS_Content_*** –DatabaseServer DomainA\SHAREPOINT –WebApplication
https://intranet.***.com.au
Convert Web App - Convert-SPWebApplication -Identity 
https://intranet.***.com.au -To Claims -RetainPermissions –Force
Now, the goal posts have changed and we may be moving to another domain.  Now, when I run
Test-SPContentDatabase command in Step 3 above on Domain B, I get the error Login Failed for 'DomainA\SP_admin'
- which makes sense.
What would be the best way to restore a DB to a new domain?

you have to perform the same steps....you need new account on the new Domain. then you have to run the migrate user command.
